BRIDGEPORT -- Police have identified the man killed in a crash Sunday on Boston Avenue as Roberto Dos Santos, 30. His address was not immediately available.

Dos Santos and another motorcyclist were riding together on Boston Avenue and as they approached the intersection of Orchard Street, Dos Santos' bike was struck by a pickup truck, police spokesman William Kaempffer said.

The driver of the truck, who was not identified Monday afternoon, remained at the scene, Kaempffer said. He had earlier said that the accident was a hit and run.

Dos Santos became airborne when his motorcycle and the truck collided, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
